I look at you and I see
Everything that I don't want to be
A thousand years of uncivilized
And I am blind when I look through your eyes
You take your things and move away from me
I see bad things about the people
They're Uncivilized
They're Uncivilized
They're Uncivilized
I saw some perfect people in a dream
They laughed and smiled and then they welcomed me
But when I woke, it was racial
A shot was fired, the homeless saw it all
Take your things and move away from me
I see bad things about the people
They're Uncivilized
They're Uncivilized
They're Uncivilized
And after all those trusting moments
You steal me blind, you think I'll go along
You take your things and move away from me
And in your wake you leave destruction
A thousand years of polite savagery
I see bad things about your people
They're Uncivilized
They're Uncivilized
They're Uncivilized
You take your things and move away from me
I see bad things about the people
We welcome them with friendship
They answer with betrayal
We prayed with them for peace
They answered us with war
